Securable Objects
A securable object is an object that can have a security descriptor. Windows
NT supports many different types of securable objects.
All named objects are securable. Some unnamed objects, such as process and
thread objects, can have security descriptors, too.
For most securable objects, you can specify an object's security descriptor in
the function call that creates the object. For example, you can specify a
security descriptor in the CreateFile and CreateProcess functions. In addition, the Win32 API provides functions for getting and
setting the security descriptor of an existing object. The following table shows
the functions to use for working with the different types of securable objects.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
